Endeavour Double IPA

In commiseration with those snowed under in Boston and other locations in the Northeast, I decided to find a good pairing for a piping hot bowl of New England Clam Chowder.

I settled on a “Southwest Coast” Double IPA from St. Arnold of Houston. It’s a very inviting beer – a Texas two step between toasty, sweet malt and effervescent hops (Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial). Plus, the not-so-bitter hops revived and refreshed the palate after each spoonful of this potato-based chowder.

Feeling much warmer, thanks, and the cabin fever is ebbing now…
